    As with all things you get what you pay for. I’ve tried SB fog pods, they work decent and the price was great but they were the lowest output of any pod I tried, however they were also the lowest priced.

    Best value is a bit difficult to define, as it somewhat depends on what your are looking for. Lumen output, pattern coverage, light color? Rigid and KC have 2x the lighting area of other brands, Rigid has the highest output and KC has the lowest (best) color temperature. Personally I would chose the light with the lowest color temperature and largest area of coverage as best value to me. Others are fine with a smaller area of coverage similar to Morimotos, and don't mind high color temperatures, in which case I would suggest the ORTown lights.

    You can see a full comparison of all the lights here:
